Re-mapping by QMS creates a higher output from the engine. However the 1.8t engine came from the factory over engineered and suitable for much higher power output, case in point is the 240hp TT factory 1.8t version, this high output 1.8t achieves this with factory re-mapping and a higher output turbo while retaining the same engine hardware, Therefore QMS would like to re-assure you that there should be no noticeable extra wear or tear to your 1.8t or 2.7tt engine due to QMS re-mapping.

Safety and reliability of your engine and components is high priority, each tune has built in safety to ensure your engine and turbo can never be damaged due to the remapping.

Gains? With a QMS stage 1 re-mapping Up to 35% increase in engine kW/HP with a very noticeable gain in mid range torque, (grunt) and maintaining that new acceleration to redline. Basically you will get 150kw /200 hp for a factory fitted K03 turbo, 155kw/210hp for a factory fitted K03sport and 195kw/265hp from a TT or S3 K04 turbo.

Generally speaking re-mapping involves altering the engine controller programming so it will ask for more power to be produced. At Quattro Motorsport this is taken very seriously, Your factory programming is designed as a one show fits all, in terms of worldwide climate, altitude and fuel quality (Octane). At QMS the program is specifically re-written for your expected environment, also the quality of fuel here is consistently higher than some other parts of the world and restrictions on this are also removed. To then follow on, the boost is raised to squeeze more air into the engine, theoretically increasing the size of the engine. This along with careful timing enhancements to decrease the time to spool (anti lag) and increase the output per each engine filling and power cycle, within safe parameters. The fuel table is also adjusted to take into account the extra load of the engine.

Yes, Quattro Motorsport keeps your factory mapping on file to revert back to stock.

Fuel consumption, as your engine will now produce a lot more power if you always drive at this power level of course your fuel consumption will increase, but only at the higher power levels, actually fuel consumption will decrease overall. Because the torque (grunt) is developed earlier and stronger, you will shift into a higher gear at much lower RPMS. This also means you wont need to change gears so often for hills, This will lower your fuel consumption. The power output per amount of fuel has also been increased (see timing and octane in FAQ question 3) so generally speaking I expect your fuel economy to improve with Quattro motorsport re-mapping.

QMS was founded on the AEB, AJL and AGU drive by cable engine, We are the only tuner WORLDWIDE to fully support non American issued DBC engine, providing OTS (off the shelf) re-mapping and Custom tuning using a factory ECU. For any Turbo, like a K04, FrankenTurbo GT28 or B.A.Turbo. It is the Speciality of Quattro Motorsport and its core business to get your DBC engine tuned.
